jae Manuel Cardenas | stylist

You are my inspiration.

And not just your hair! I’m inspired by your personality, your style, your way of life. With every new client who sits in my chair, I’m inspired to create a unique look that makes you feel strong and confident. A look that spotlights everything that makes you great.

I first realized the transformative power of hairstyling as a child, watching my mother’s confidence blossom as she painstakingly did her hair and makeup. That’s why I focus on the details, making sure you look exactly how you want to feel. I want you to leave the salon with a new attitude in your step, and a smile on your face.

I was born in San Francisco and moved to NYC to study with hair icon Sally Hershberger. I work with a roster of celebrities (but I don’t kiss and tell…), world-class photographers (Leibovitz, Demarchelier, Avedon) and fashion designers (Dolce & Gabbana, Naeem Khan). But nothing beats the joy of seeing a new client transform in my mirror.

I’d love to get my hands on your hair. Call 212-206-8700 to set up an appointment.
